A More Workable Way to Resolve Conflict

Mediation gives you an opportunity to work through disagreements with the help of a neutral mediator—without handing every decision over to someone else.

At Bespoke Mediation Group, the goal isn't to decide who is right or wrong. It's to help both parties identify the issues, communicate more effectively, explore possible solutions, and determine whether they can reach an agreement they can both accept.

You remain in control of the decisions.

How Mediation Works

Mediation is a confidential process designed to encourage open, productive discussion. Georgia's mediation rules provide important confidentiality protections, although specific exceptions can apply.

You may have an attorney participate or consult with an attorney before signing an agreement, but you do not have to hire an attorney simply to participate in mediation. As your mediator, I remain neutral—I do not represent either party or provide either party with legal advice.

For domestic-relations matters, safety matters too. Georgia's ADR rules require screening in domestic-relations cases to determine whether mediation can be conducted safely and appropriately.

What Can We Mediate?

Mediation can help address issues such as divorce and separation, parenting arrangements, custody and visitation concerns, property and debt discussions, child-support-related issues, and other family or civil disputes.

When children are involved, Georgia requires a parenting plan in custody or visitation cases, and child support is calculated under Georgia's guidelines using state worksheets and schedules.

Choose the Option That Fits Your Situation

Hourly Mediation — $150/hour

Pay only for the time you need.

The mediation rate is $150 per hour total. When the parties divide the mediation fee equally, that is:

$75 per hour, per party

This option may be appropriate when you have a limited number of issues to resolve or simply want to begin with mediation before deciding whether you need additional services.

The Bespoke Path — $1,500

Resolve. Empower. Transition.

For couples who are prepared to work toward an amicable divorce, the Bespoke Path offers a more comprehensive, flat-fee mediation option.

Rather than paying by the hour, the $1,500 package provides a structured process for working through the issues necessary to reach a comprehensive agreement.

The package includes:

Mediation sessions necessary to work toward resolution
A written mediated Settlement Agreement reflecting the parties' agreements
Parenting Plan, when applicable
Child-support worksheet and related documents, when applicable
A plain-English summary of the agreements reached
Guidance on identifying the appropriate Georgia court forms and next procedural steps

What Happens After Mediation?

If you reach an agreement, the terms are put into writing. You then decide how you want to proceed with the legal process.

Some people hire an attorney to review their agreement or handle filing. Others choose to proceed pro se, meaning they represent themselves.

Georgia Courts provides self-help divorce forms for cases both with and without minor children. The exact documents, filing procedures, and fees can depend on your case and the Superior Court where the divorce is filed.

You are always free to have an independent attorney review your agreement before you sign or file anything.

Mediation Doesn't Require You to Agree on Everything Before You Begin

You don't have to arrive with every issue solved. That's what mediation is for.

What you do need is a willingness to participate in the process, consider possible solutions, and make your own decisions.

You don't pay for a fight. You invest in a process designed to help you find a workable resolution.
